Blurb Description: When BFFs Charlie, Taylor and Jamie go to SupaCon, they know it’s going to be a blast. What they don’t expect is for it to change their lives forever.Charlie likes to stand out. SupaCon is her chance to show fans she’s over her public breakup with co-star, Reese Ryan. When Alyssa Huntington arrives as a surprise guest, it seems Charlie’s long-time crush on her isn’t as one-sided as she thought.While Charlie dodges questions about her personal life, Taylor starts asking questions about her own.Taylor likes to blend in. Her brain is wired differently, making her fear change. And there’s one thing in her life she knows will never change: her friendship with Jamie—no matter how much she may secretly want it to. But when she hears about the Queen Firestone SupaFan Contest, she starts to rethink her rules on playing it safe.

Before I begin describing what was actually inside the book,
I feel like that ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUSLY
PINK MARVEL OF A COVER NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED. It is so fun, perfect and
AAH. It honestly feels like a privilege to own books with beautiful covers and Queens of Geek was one of those.

Also, this book was set in a fictional version of San
Diego Comic Con which is the ONE CON my two best friends and I have been DYING
to go to for years, and this book felt like I was living vicariously and I
LOVED THAT.

THOUGHTS:

1.This book tried to take on a LOT of topics –
Anxiety, Sexuality, Body Shaming and Fame among others in a very small space. All
of them were handled really well, and the intended message WAS put across, but
in a book that is BARELY 300 pages, it felt rushed. Body Shaming got a chapter,
Sexuality or rather Bisexuality was mostly given one conversation. I think it’s AWESOME that so much was
there, I just wish it was all talked about more.

2.THIS WAS
SET IN A CONVENTION. WITH THREE BEST FRIENDS. And I really really loved it.
What’s better than a bunch of real best
friends who are all geeks at the biggest convention in the world geeking out
and falling in love? THE BEST THANK YOU!

3.While
I thought that this book, and the issues it handled could have been dealt with
in more depth, Anxiety was handled
absolutely perfectly. More than anything else, I understood what
Taylor was going through when the book was told in her viewpoint. I loved how
it was explained to those of us who don’t suffer from Anxiety, I love how
STRONG Taylor was at Supa Con. Basically I
loved Taylor, and the writing that created her.

4.Taylor and Jamie are my new OTP. HONESTLY. Best
Friend Romances are my ACHILLES HEEL or plot lines and while I’d love them on
principle, I ADORE the chemistry that Jen Wilde manages to create between them.
They were both suck adorable geeky humans and so easy to love.

5.I really liked Charlie as a person. She was
strong and had her own insecurities and her voice was so powerful. She wasn’t
just a pink haired movie star, she felt like a real person and I connected with
her oh-so easily.

Would I recommend reading this? UHM YES. If you’re a fangirl
that loves reading books about Fangirls and best friends and Conventions, THIS
IS SO FOR YOU!

An important geek filled ride that will leave you smiling,
swooning and booking tickets to the con you’ve always dreamed of going too! 4
stars.

Jen Wilde is a writer, geek and fangirl. Her debut into fiction, THE EVA SERIES, reached over three million reads on Wattpad and became an Amazon bestseller.

When she’s not writing, she loves binge-watching Netflix, eating pizza, and going to pop culture conventions cosplaying as Marty McFly.

Jen lives in a beachside town in Australia with her husband and their troublesome pug, aptly named Heisenberg.

What are some of your favourite fandom based novels?

Do you like reading books about cons and with fangirls, or do you feel like they're never good enough?

If you ever need to find her, just knock on the door to her Bookshelf (Narnia Closet, really, so HUSH) but she may or may not answer. Consider yourself warned. She's still a book hoarder, has sort of learnt how to drive a car and can't wait to travel the world outside of a book.
